Lion Air provides promo prices on the Jakarta (CGK) to Pontianak (PNK) air line during the Lebaran homecoming season because the demand for flights at that time is very high, especially from travelers who want to return to their hometowns in Pontianak and other areas around.  The Jakarta to Pontianak flight route is known to be crowded with travelers because there are several factors that influence it. 

First, many indigenous people of West Kalimantan migrate to Jakarta to work or go to school, so when the homecoming season arrives, they take advantage of the opportunity to return to their hometowns.

Second, travel by airplane is faster and more efficient. The scheduled travel time for direct flights from Jakarta to Pontianak ranges from 1 hour 30 minutes. This makes it easier for travelers to plan trips and meet family soon.

Third, Pontianak is one of the major cities in West Kalimantan with Supadio air entrance, so access to this city is smoother and more comfortable via direct flights from Jakarta. Connecting flights are available from Supadio to Ketapang (KTG), Sintang (SQG) and Putussibau (PSU).

Fourth, during this homecoming and holiday season, Lion Air offers flight ticket promos, making flight ticket prices more affordable for travelers to return home.

Finally, the tradition of the Taaruf Parade or Takbiran Parade on the last night of Ramadan is an attraction for travelers and tourists who want to feel the togetherness and atmosphere of Ramadan typical in Pontianak. 

Pontianak: An Attractive Destination for Business and Leisure Travelers

The Jakarta to Pontianak route is famous for being fat and crowded. The capital city of West Kalimantan is a city that has many business and investment opportunities, especially in the fields of trade, industry, plantations, UMKM and agriculture and other fields. In its development, Pontianak became the center of trade and business in West Kalimantan.

For tourist purposes, Pontianak has a long and rich history, so the city highlights many interesting historical and cultural heritages to visit, such as Pontianak State Museum, Kadriah Palace and Equator Monument. Pontianak is famous for its natural beauty, such as Kapuas Tourism Park, Kapuas River and Kalimantan Island landmarks. Pontianak is also popular for its culinary specialties, such as noodle soup, coconut satay, coffee and spicy porridge. 

Homecoming and early vacation programs can be a means of growing awareness and interest of the Indonesian people in traveling domestically. In the long term, optimism will help encourage economic growth in the tourism sector and other industries to improve the quality of life of the Indonesian people.
